Looks like GHA was announced[1] around the same time as the acquisition by MS. The first commit in that repo is a year later when they opensourced it, so we can't see how it evolved before then.

For anyone who was at Github at the time, was it always written in C# or rewritten/replaced after acquisition? If "GitHub Actions is based on Visual Studio Team Foundation Server's CI" is the case, then it sounds like the latter.

as far back as 2006, years and years before the iPhone came out

iPhone came out in 2007, at least in the US.

I'm not a Google employee, but my understanding of their policy is very few people will get approved for fully remote work. Everyone else will need a vaccine.

There are a couple of options without needing guaranteed ordering:

- jobs can have ever increasing ids, workers record the last seen id in one place, and ignore jobs with ids less than last seen

- job results are returned for each job to a supervisor. if a job result doesn't match current expected state, resend job. jobs should be idempotent in case a job is sent multiple times

If the create job is expensive, the latter solution would be less ideal, though.

Your Cloud SQL instance would have a public IP, but would not be exposed to the internet. All traffic is blocked by default. Only GCP service accounts with the right permissions can make connections to your SQL instance, or IPs added to a whitelist (not recommended).

One of the use cases for DNS-over-HTTPS given in the draft was to allow web applications access to DNS directly via existing browser APIs.

Generally, pay is the same across all the branches and is public information. Although, I've heard the AF will give additional "substandard housing" pay if they require you to stay on an Army base.

It is usually joked that AF members are more office workers than soldiers, which is kind of what this joke is implying. My recruiter for the AF embraced that, telling potential recruits the AF has more college degree holders than all the other branches combined (not sure how true it was).
